I had the honor to write a guest blog for SLR Lounge about newborn photography marketing tips. I can't wait for the opportunity to write about what I love again in the future.

[thedaveandkimmershow]

First thing I should say is we woulda had so many more couple selfies if we had smart phones when we started dating.

No joke.

Because one of the obvious features of our dating life is that it was steeped in photography. And by "photography" I mean old school SLRs with detachable lenses, swappable filters, and camera straps. They were these bulky metal things dangling from our necks, resting somewhere near our tummies.

What can I say? That was just the look.

Anyway, we'd go together on these different adventures that were largely and wide ranging photo ops.

Photo ops?

Sure, adventuring downtown Seattle was one. The Seattle Center, another one. Any of the fairs like Puyallup or Monroe. They were all opportunities for photography that we indulged together.

It wasn't always photography, of course. But it was always adventuring. Mostly with starting points and no firm destination. We were in the habit from the very beginning to make it up as we went. We didn't actually mind where we wound up. The adventure was the point. Together was the point.

And so we continued that tradition yesterday with a lazy morning followed by Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny at the Crest; a quick stop at the nearest GoodWill that we hadn't already checked out in the last day or two... which turned out to be that one on 8th in Ballard; a trip to Trader Joe's by the bridge that was quickly hijacked by a trip to PCC across the street that ended at a table on the roof enjoying orange creamsicles; a picnic Kimmer conjured for us (complete with picnic basket) on the waterfront in front The Expedia Group building at Smith Cove; a trip to South Lake Union for a Margarita that was hijacked by revisiting The Seattle Center, especially the fountain; and then, of course, South Lake Union and Tapster where Kimmer got her Margarita and I whipped through some fruit ciders.

It was a little after 930 by the time we got home after our adventure and, yes, a bunch of couple selfies.

One thing I'll say, especially on days we revisit popular or significant locations from our lives or from our life together, there are a ton of memories that spontaneously appear, that declare themselves. Which adds a layer to our adventure that wasn't there at the very beginning.

Memories of our experiences appear at specific locations. There were a lot of memories at the Seattle Center, of course, because its roots dive deep into our childhoods, run right through our couplehood, and take up a lot of space during our parenthood. Certain areas of Ballard and Crown Hill, too, for Kimmer especially. For both of us when the topics are Dick's Drive-In, Larsen's Bakery, and spray paint art by the local artist known as Henry. South Lake Union and the path running along the shore from Expedia at Smith Cove to Pier 70 are recent additions, both symbolic of our time living on Capital Hill when they were favored walking and lounging destinations.

Of course once random memories start showing up in numbers over a short period of time, a kind of momentum develops and a bunch of other memories both large and tiny light up as well... making for a rich experience. A bit of an enhanced reality laid across the physical present.

With a ton of pictures to show for it.

Are Designer Camera Bags Worth the Investment? A Look at Luxury Options

The Importance of Choosing the Right Camera Bag

When it comes to photography, the gear you use is just as important as the photos you take. One essential piece of equipment that often gets overlooked is the camera bag. Not only does it protect your expensive camera and lenses, but it also helps you stay organized and comfortable while you shoot. However, with so many options on the market, it can be difficult to know which camera bag is right for you. That's where luxury options like "None" come in.

The Benefits of Investing in a Luxury Camera Bag

Choosing the Right Luxury Camera Bag for You

Now that you know the benefits of investing in a luxury camera bag, how do you choose the right one for you? Here are a few things to consider:

Type of Photography: Are you a landscape photographer who spends a lot of time hiking? A studio photographer who needs a lot of storage? Different types of photography will require different types of bags, so make sure to choose one that fits your specific needs.

Maybe I mentioned this before but, twenty-seven years later we seem to have returned to Dave & Kimmer: The Early Years.

Back then, many of our dates were variations on adventuring to different cities, towns, outta-the-way-places... and taking photographs of anything capturing our attention. Back then, we used bulky 35mm SLRs complete with neck-straps. Back then, the future as we know it now... was inconceivable.

Still, we amassed quite the collection of 4x6 glossy prints documenting those days.

When it was just the two of us.

With a bunch of time on our hands to kill.

So it’s not lost on me that, right now,  we’re lounging our way through a few days, adventuring where we will, snapping photos with our phones at our whim.

With a bunch of time on our hands to kill.

Like the old days, you know?

Using time like all of it’s still ahead of us.

Weird how that works.

Things’ve changed of course. You live that much time and, at the very least, you learn how to do a bunch of things successfully either by already knowing what to do, being adept at figuring out what to do, or making such catastrophic mistakes that you’re sure to never do that again. 

Call it Wisdom, if you like.

Whatever it is, it’s left us more at ease with question marks, with our ability to improvise and figure things out on the fly.

Call it Confidence, maybe.

For sure it makes us harder to rattle.

It makes Peace a little more accessible.

And so these days that are like the old days... are different ‘cause there’s a kind of bedrock that underlies them. I don’t know how else to put that. 

The result is that... well, we can still conjure that bubble that’s only about the two of us. But, and this is different from where we started, we’re better at striking up conversations with the random people whose paths we cross. Wait staff’s an easy example. Uber and Lyft drivers. But then really, after that, anyone. Even if we’re at the corner waiting for the light to change to Walk. Random conversations with complete strangers comes easily to us anymore. 

Not sure why. It does make our experiences that much more rich.

Anyway.

Here are some snaps from the last few days as we continue to celebrate 27 years.

I mean, really.

Why not?

:-)
